Hurt people hurt other people
I was reading something and stumbled upon these words which spoke to my soul and provoked feelings deep inside me to share this post: "Open wounds attract hungry predators"
When I was little I had an accident where a cinder block fell on my leg and I received a punctured wound that got infected because I didn't tell my Mom. I loved bathing in the river close by our house so I jumped in unbeknownst to me that there was a school of mullets waiting to attack. I could feel them rip my flesh, picking around the infected area of the wound. It felt like being poked a hundred times per second by a small sharp ice pick. At the time I felt like I was surrounded by hundreds of fish and they were going to eat me alive. Without hesitation, I ran out of the water out of fear of the unknown: what if I started bleeding and bled to death, or better yet lose my leg due to a severe reaction to these fishes nibbling on my flesh? I ran for cover to protect myself.
Now this true story can be an all time metaphor in anyone's life. We are all wounded at heart throughout our lives from our difficult experiences, hardships to very unusual circumstances but what we don't know is that there are other people who are sometimes just as hurt as us or they're just so evil that they lie await to attack our vulnerabilities.
Hence the term, "guard your heart." Not everyone who seem sympathetic, loving and caring are who they portray themselves to be. Some people are drawn to others because they seek comfort while the ones who provide solitude and safe haven are waiting to gain your trust so they can stroke their ego by further causing you pain.

Don't think there's anyone who can save you from being wounded or hurt when it is always someone who are our equal that placed us in that position in the first place or try to play hero by saving someone who is hurt because "Hurt people hurt other people."
